Roseville Album, Again

There are some quilt projects
that are quick and easy.
Then there are others that
are a very long term commitment.

Over the past couple of weeks,
I've continued to work on the
Roseville Album Quilt.

Mostly because I'm committed to getting
this done...sooner than later.

I'm at the point where there are
two side panels left to do.

I decided to do them both at the same time because
1. the designing process would be easier,
2. it would help to keep the color selection balanced,
and then the third reason is
so I wouldn't have cut any more pieces
and that step would be done!

There is a ton of pieces that go into the Roseville quilt. I can see easily getting distracted to another project as their is some intense stitching to do on each block and the borders. But how good it will be to get it all done.

Your panels are going to look amazing when finish, well done with sticking to this intense project. Also helpful to see how you lay it all out as I am struggling with some applique at present and needed a push to get back to it, thanks! Happy belated birthday, so nice to spend your special day with your family. Love your garden art project, looks fantastic.

I loved this post! It was so wonderful to see your panels coming to life! I think doing the two panels at the same time was a great idea. It reminded me of my Mom, she always knit both of the sleeves to a sweater at the same time so they would come out the same size. So many fabric choices!I could never have done that in a week! This is going to be such a fantastic quilt!

OH Kyle but just so worth it , the borders of this quilt are just as amazing as the blocks. keep going its going to be such an amazing quilt, I have started working on Flower garden again, but guess what! I decided to start over I really didn't like the background fabric I chose ….Kathie

Way to go - liking your philosophy...slow and steady - no rush. In a quilt as complex as this fabric selection can be daunting but you are choosing beautiful pieces and your patience will be rewarded. Love the birds especially the 2 dipping towards each other in panel of Day 7
